Forum is murdering itself

[GommeInc]

Absolutely. If Jin was waiting for xenforo he's probably crying now as it turns out it's just more of the same old crap, just with some shiny new code styles. IP.Board is the way forward for this forum (But it wont happen as Jin ~*LOEVS*~ vBulletin/XenForo so much.)

Don't mention IPB, you'd get abuse. I mentioned IPB and he wasn't happy, even though Invision Power know how to make a forum, seeing as most of the IPB features have been there years before they appeared on vBulletin, and they tend to work

Not that a move to IPB would happen...

And what's this about tech buddies and "optimising the server?" Surely it should just work, what on earth did he do to it to make it so bad? I think this is proof that Jin should hand over the keys, and that Habbox shouldn't be wasting money on whatever plan this is. There are cheaper solutions out there, some with companies that offer these services too. I'm amazed I missed this responsibility hand over to Jin, who is very rarely on and just the one person is a dreadful choice, for a website that is huge. It's amazing Habbox is even Official, did we pay for that?

I think Yonder has/used to have access to the server, but he, also, is always away. As others have said, I really think it's about time Jin trusted someone enough to give them full server access. I'm not talking about just anyone, but a trusted person who has the knowledge

I know Jin was online the other day to post a detailed brief of what needs coding for v6.

Habbox isn't a HUUUUGE site, the current server should be fine unless its being ran from a home pc or something... There's obviously a serious server issue and someone needs to get their arse in gear o fix it asap. If the supplier won't help, jump ship (unless you're unmanangrd)

The current server is huge overkill for Habbox as it is, there is no reason the sites should run slowly from what I've gathered from various people.

I heard phpBB3 was pretty efficient and doesn't use many resources .. (Prepares for pitchforks and torches)

Edit: It can has handle 1000 people! http://www.minecraftforum.net/

Smart Machines Forums were kinda cool, you could have a news section. PHPBB3 just seems like IPB 1.6, back when Invision Power let people have free boards with loads of advertisements. IPB 3.1.2 is where it's at

IP.Board is way awesome. Habbox should move to it.

Why not just use a comments script and just have one massive conversation?
